Server memory compatibility

[Benjals]

Hey, I was just searching for 16 gb kits of memory to upgrade my computer and wanted something cheap.

A 16 GB dual kit goes for around 200 dollars in Australia, though I found some cheaper on ebay.
I see a heap of these listings go by and they are server ram that have been pulled from operating machines.

That is what he is selling, and I was just wondering if this would work on normal motherboards.
Thankyou.

Its ECC ram so unless your motherboard supports ECC then no it wont work.

 

Server memory is special in that 99% of the time its allways ECC due to its type of work load.  for normal compters they dont normaly support ECC because they dont need to
